Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 723 - 721

Chapter 723: Chapter 721

Ten days had passed in a blink of an eye.

Despite her injured hand, Princess Ling’er insisted on continuing the bet.

She had sent messages the day before, arranging the time and location for today’s competition at the animal park’s animal competition venue.

Shangguan Ruixi, Fu Ranhui, and others knew about the bet happening today, so they all came to the scene.

Not only did they arrive, but Princess Ling’er deliberately leaked the news, so many people in Imperial City knew. Everyone wanted to see if pigs really could herd sheep.

Ah, the most crucial thing was that they all wanted to see who would win. The rumor was that the loser would have to try herding sheep like a pig.

Princess Ling’er watched as Xiao’er led a small pig over. The pig looked only a few months old and not fully grown. She glanced at the person beside her and asked, "Is this the pig you sent to the Sixth Prince’s mansion?"

The man gave the pig a glance and saw it was no different from the one he had sent. All pigs look alike, he thought. Not being able to distinguish whether it was the pig he had sent or not, he nodded nervously, "Yes, Miss."

Sigh, he did not know then that his mistress and the Sixth Prince’s consort were having a bet. He had picked the most beautiful pig, all pink, to send over.

If he had known the pig would be used for a bet, he would’ve chosen one with black spots. At least, he would be able to recognize it.

But this little pig looked adorably slow. It should be the right one, he thought.

Princess Ling’er merely asked casually. So upon hearing his response, she felt more assured.

Thinking back to the bet, she revealed a cold smile. Once she marries the Sixth Prince, she wouldn’t let that bitch Shen Xiao’er even have a place to stand!

When Xiao’er came up to Princess Ling’er, the latter deliberately laughed and asked, "Do you like the pig I sent?"

Hearing this, Xiao’er bent down to pat the small pig’s head, while smiling, she nodded, "Of course, I do! This pig is much smarter than you!"

This implied that Princess Ling’er was even stupider than a pig.

"Pfff... Hahaha..." Di Shaowei, who had come to be a part of the crowd with his wife, couldn’t help but laugh out loud when he heard Xiao’er’s comment.

Everyone present also couldn’t help but hold back their laughter.

Princess Ling’er’s face turned redder than the little pink pig in embarrassment, but she held it in. Shen Xiao’er, that bitch, how sharp her tongue was!

This was not the time to lose her temper. Once the competition was over, it would be her turn to cry. She was sure of it.

The competition was about to begin, and spectators were entering the venue one after another. The zoo staff explained to the audience about an additional participant in the sheep herding competition - a pig.

The uninformed listeners were all taken aback, all exclaiming and discussing whether pigs could herd sheep. They called it a surreal world.

"Is this some kind of practical joke set up by the zoo staff? Not a chance, I’ll never believe a pig can herd sheep."

"It might be, I also don’t believe a pig can herd sheep. Pigs are famous for their laziness and stupidity."

"Who knows, the animals in this zoo are all very intelligent."

"Let’s just wait and see! The competition has started!" If that pig could truly herd sheep, he would buy it to reproduce smart piglets. Eventually, he thought, he could sell the pork, marketing it as "eat our smart pork, become smarter!" Wouldn’t that improve his pork sales?

The one who made this comment was a butcher who raised and sold several pigs each year. It had to be said, he had a business brain.

The competition had just started, all eyes were on the little pink pig.

The little pig oinked and oinked in front of ten sheep, but they remained indifferent, staying in the sheep pen without coming out.

The teams led by the other sheepdogs had already started following the sheepdogs.

Seeing this, Princess Ling’er couldn’t help but lift the corners of her mouth. She knew it all along, no one would believe if pigs can herd sheep!

"Sixth Consort, do you really think that a pig can herd sheep by making random noise? I won’t accept that you know!" She taunted.

"What’s the rush? You’ll know in a moment! If Princess Ling’er doesn’t understand what herding sheep means, maybe you should let the pig you sent to teach me explain it to you. By the way, I haven’t thanked you for sending me such a smart and cute little pig. Otherwise, I would have had a hard time finding it!"

"If the pig is so smart, you should learn from it! Humph! No need to thank!" Princess Ling’er turned her face away, let her gloat for a while. In a moment, when the competition’s over, it will be her turn to cry and beg for mercy!

On the field, the little pink pig was not in a rush. It continued to oink non-stop while the sheep in the pens stood there, unresponsive.

"Girl, what is that pig constantly shouting? It seems to be making a lot of sense. Can the sheep even understand what the pig is saying?" Seeing this, Di Shaowei couldn’t help but ask.

"Crown Prince Di, do you also think that the Sixth Consort can understand what the pig and sheep are saying? I thought only the same species could understand each other’s language! Hehe... Sixth Consort, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mean that you are a beast." Princess Ling’er couldn’t help but take this opportunity to mock Xiao’er with Di Shaowei’s words.

"So according to what Princess Ling’er just said, even animals are better than you, as you can’t understand their language?" Without waiting for Xiao’er to respond, Di Shaowei immediately retorted!

Daring to use his own words to insult his sister, she was truly getting on his nerves! When Shangguan Xuanyi had hit her last time, he shouldn’t have hit her on the hand. He should have hit her nasty mouth!

Princess Ling’er’s face turned green in anger, "You..." It’s you who is worse than a beast!

"What do you mean ’you’! Stay away from us, your mouth stinks!" Di Shaowei quickly interrupted her, before she could speak. Given her tone, whatever she was going to say couldn’t be anything good. He then covered his own nose and mouth with his hand, "It stinks so bad!"

"You are..." Her mouth stinks! Your whole family’s mouth stinks!

"Surely not the same species, worse than a beast. Can’t even understand human speech! She’s not leaving, so we’re moving! I don’t want to pass out from the stench!" After saying this, Di Shaowei signaled Xiao’er, then grabbed Ming Jingya and moved a few seats away.

Everyone near Princess Ling’er covered their noses.

She was so angry that she was about to explode!

Originally, she sat next to that bitch Shen Xiao’er just so she could taunt her as soon as possible, but instead she was the one being mocked! And people were helping her mock herself!

Typical temptress, attracting all men!

Princess Ling’er glanced at Jingya, who was sitting beside Di Shaowei. She was also a fool. Even when her own man was protecting other women in front of her, she didn’t dare to make a sound.

If her husband dared to pay attention to other women, she would find a way to get rid of those women.

Thinking of this, she looked at Shen Xiao’er again. Once she marries the Sixth Prince, it will be time for this woman to slowly succumb to illness.
